Successful nedaplatin desensitization therapy in a patient with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer: A case report and literature review. Gynecol Oncol Rep 2022; 43:101065.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapy is the cornerstone of treatment for ovarian cancer. Hypersensitivity reaction (HSR) is a serious adverse reaction of anticancer drugs with anaphylactic features. HSR to platinum agents could lead to interruption of effective treatments for ovarian cancer, resulting in poor prognosis. We presented a case of successful nedaplatin desensitization therapy with a history of HSR to carboplatin and nedaplatin. The nedaplatin desensitization regimen could be an alternative for the patients with platinum sensitive ovarian cancer.
Desensitization protocols of platinum-based agents are recommended for patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction (HSR). Herein, we report the first case of a successful desensitization therapy with nedaplatin after HSR to carboplatin and nedaplatin for platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. A 53 year-old woman was diagnosed with stage IIIC serous carcinoma of the ovary and underwent primary debulking surgery followed by an adjuvant chemotherapy. The tumor relapsed 4 times in 10 years after the initial treatment, and platinum-based chemotherapy was performed on each occasion. HSR to carboplatin without and with desensitization protocol occurred during the 9th cycle of treatment and 2nd cycle of retreatment, respectively. Additionally, HSR to nedaplatin occurred during the 16th cycle of nedaplatin treatment. A four-step desensitization protocol with nedaplatin was conducted without occurrence of any severe adverse event. Nedaplatin desensitization regimen could be a new alternation for HSR to platinum-based agents.

Efficacy and Adverse Events of Carboplatin Desensitisation Therapy for Gynaecological Cancer: A Retrospective Study. MEDICINES 2022; 9:medicines9040026. [PMID: 35447874 PMCID: PMC9032487 DOI: 10.3390/medicines9040026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Background: Carboplatin, the key drug used in treating gynaecological cancer, has an approximately 12–16% risk of hypersensitivity reactions. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and adverse effects of carboplatin desensitisation therapy for gynaecological cancer. Methods: The desensitisation protocol was standardised as a four-step, 4-h, carboplatin administration in the hospital. A retrospective medical record review was conducted on 15 patients who underwent carboplatin desensitisation for gynaecological malignancies at our hospital. Patients’ data were analysed to evaluate the treatment success rate, therapeutic effect of desensitisation, adverse events, and treatment. Results: Of 91 carboplatin desensitisation cycles scheduled; the completion rate was 93.4% (85/91). Adverse events occurred in 23 of these 91 (25.3%). In four (4.4%) of the 23 cycles, hypersensitivity reactions could be treated only by discontinuing the infusion and slowing the administration, while in the remaining 19 (20.9%), medication was administered intravenously after discontinuing the infusion to manage hypersensitivity reactions. No treatment-related deaths occurred. Overall, 23 series of anti-cancer agent regimens, including carboplatin desensitisation, were administered to the 15 patients. The therapeutic response rate was 82.6% and the disease control rate was 95.7%. Conclusions: Carboplatin desensitisation was beneficial in patients with a history of carboplatin-induced hypersensitivity reactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the benefits of nedaplatin treatment in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to carboplatin. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with ovarian, fallopian, and peritoneal cancers and with a history of hypersensitivity to carboplatin between January 2010 and December 2016 at the Department of Gynecology in the Saitama Medical Center associated with Jichi Medical University. We studied the response rate to treatment with a nedaplatin-based regimen compared to that of a carboplatin regimen. Fisher's exact test was used to determine statistical significance. RESULTS Thirty-one patients with a past hypersensitivity to carboplatin were treated with nedaplatin-based regimen, while ten patients were treated with other drugs. The response rates in the nedaplatin- and non-nedaplatin-treated patient groups were 71.4% and 30.0%, respectively (P = 0.021). Among all the patients, only one experienced hypersensitivity reaction to nedaplatin. CONCLUSION The nedaplatin regimen following hypersensitivity to carboplatin was safe, feasible, and effective in achieving complete or partial response.

Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13040640. [PMID: 33562736 PMCID: PMC7915680 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13040640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2020] [Revised: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer who developed carboplatin hypersensitivity reaction. Eighty-six (86) patients who developed hypersensitivity reactions for carboplatin were treated with weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy, and 71 (83%) of the 86 patients were able to receive treatment without hypersensitivity reaction to cisplatin. The severity of the hypersensitivity reaction for cisplatin observed in all 15 patients was below grade 2, and there were no deaths due to hypersensitivity reaction to cisplatin. The majority of patients (55 patients, 64%) completed the scheduled weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy, and only 9 patients (10%) discontinued treatment due to hypersensitivity reaction within 6 cycles. Weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy were well-tolerated and effective for patients who developed carboplatin hypersensitivity reaction. Abstract Background: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy (wTP) in patients with ovarian cancer who developed carboplatin hypersensitivity reaction (HSR). Methods: We retrospectively investigated 86 patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal carcinoma who developed carboplatin HSR during previous chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) at our institution between 2011 and 2019. After premedication was administered, paclitaxel was administered over 1 h, followed by cisplatin over 1 h (paclitaxel 80 mg/m2; cisplatin 25 mg/m2; 1, 8, 15 day/4 weeks). We investigated the incidence of patients who successfully received wTP for at least one cycle, treatments compliance, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: The median number of wTP administration cycles was 4 (Interquartile Range IQR, 3–7), 71 patients (83%) successfully received wTP, and 15 patients (17%) developed cisplatin HSR. The efficacy of treatment was as follows: 55 (64%) patients completed the scheduled wTP, 9 (10%) patients discontinued due to HSR to cisplatin within 6 cycles, 1 (1%) patient discontinued due to renal toxicity (grade 2) at the 6th cycle, and 21 (24%) patients discontinued due to progressive disease within 6 cycles. The median PFS and OS after administration of wTP were 10.9 months (95% CI: 7.7–17.7) and 25.9 months (95% CI: 19.0–50.2), respectively. Conclusions: wTP was safe and well-tolerated in patients who developed carboplatin HSR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to carboplatin, a key drug for ovarian cancer patients, are problematic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of readministration of platinum agents (PTs) in recurrent ovarian cancer patients who developed HSRs to carboplatin. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-one patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who developed HSRs to carboplatin were divided into those who continued to receive PTs in the following cycle (continuation group, n=24) and those in whom either the drug was switched to non-platinum agents (non-PTs) or chemotherapy was ended (discontinuation group, n=7). Outcomes were evaluated based on patients' medical records. RESULTS The median survival time following HSRs was 28.1 and 15.4 months in the continuation and discontinuation groups, respectively (p=0.018). In the continuation group, a total of 155 cycles of PTs were re-administrated, and 50 cycles (32%) led to recurrent HSRs. There were no recurrent HSRs with a severity of grade 3 or greater. CONCLUSION Continuation of PTs in ovarian cancer patients may contribute to improvement in their overall survival without severe recurrent HSRs.

Paclitaxel plus nedaplatin vs. paclitaxel plus carboplatin in women with epithelial ovarian cancer: A multi-center, randomized, open-label, phase III trial. Oncol Lett 2018; 15:3646-3652. [PMID: 29467885 PMCID: PMC5796383 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2018.7761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2016] [Accepted: 09/13/2017] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
The multi-center, randomized, open-label, phase III trial discussed in the present study was performed to compare the clinical outcomes of nedaplatin (NDP) plus paclitaxel, and carboplatin (CBP) plus paclitaxel for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In the current study, 182 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage II-IV EOC were randomly assigned to receive NDP plus paclitaxel or CBP plus paclitaxel at 3-week intervals for a total of six courses. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival rate (PFS) and overall survival rate (OS). The secondary endpoints were toxicity profiles. The median follow-up was 44.63 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 33.67-46.47 months] for the NDP group and 47.63 months (95% CI 45.13-49.07 months) for the CBP group. Overall, there was no significant difference in PFS or OS between the two groups (P=0.09 for PFS, and P=0.65 for OS). For the patients with FIGO stage III-IV EOC, the NDP plus paclitaxel regimen significantly prolonged PFS (P=0.02) but did not result in improved OS (P=0.53) when compared with the CBP group. The patients in the NDP plus paclitaxel group also exhibited a lower incidence rate of grade 3 or 4 leucopenia (P=0.03). Other hematological and non-hematological toxicity profiles were similar between the two groups. Compared with CBP plus paclitaxel regimens, NDP plus paclitaxel regimens achieved comparable survival outcomes and similar toxicity profiles. However, patients of FIGO stage III-IV EOC may experience more clinical benefits from NDP plus paclitaxel treatment, including a prolonged PFS and a lower incidence rate of leucopenia. Therefore, an NDP-based regimen may be an alternative choice when using platinum-based agents to treat EOC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nedaplatin (NDP), a second-generation platinum analog, has been developed to reduce the toxicity of cisplatin. Although the use of NDP for older patients seems suitable because of the reduced risk of toxicity, few studies have investigated its application to older patients with ovarian cancer (OC). The objective of this study was to compare the tolerability and effectiveness of NDP between patients older and younger than 70 years of age with OC. METHODS We enrolled 56 patients with OC who were treated with NDP monotherapy and divided them into those who were 70 years and older (n = 18) and younger than 70 years (n = 38). NDP was administered intravenously until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities occurred. RESULTS The incidences of grade 3/4 hematological toxicities were significantly higher in the older patients than in the younger patients, including anemia (p = 0.0021), leucopenia (p = 0.029), neutropenia (p = 0.0048), and thrombocytopenia (p = 0.0024). The incidence of elevated creatinine was also significantly higher in the older patients (p = 0.0063). Older patients had significantly more frequent dose reductions (p = 0.017) and treatment interruptions from toxicity (p = 0.04). The tumor response rate for NDP did not differ significantly between younger (29%) and older (28%) patients (p = 0.47). The two age groups also did not significantly differ in progression-free survival (p = 0.27) and overall survival (p = 0.46). CONCLUSIONS Although NDP is a useful therapeutic option for OC, careful consideration of the adverse effect should be given for patients 70 years and older.

Incidence of and risk factors associated with nedaplatin-related hypersensitivity reactions. Int J Clin Oncol 2017; 22:593-599.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nedaplatin (NDP)-related hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) trigger adverse clinical events. Prediction and prevention of NDP-HSRs are thus essential to minimize the risk and maximize the benefit of NDP therapy. However, the incidence of NDP-HSRs and the associated risk factors remain unclear. METHODS We retrospectively examined patients who received NDP monotherapy between April 2011 and July 2015 in Nagoya University Hospital. HSRs severity was defined according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4 (CTCAE ver.4). Risk factors for NDP-HSRs were determined using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Of 111 patients who received NDP monotherapy, 90 (81%) were female; median age was 59 years (range, 29-78 years). Eighty-eight patients had gynecological cancer and 20 suffered from head and neck cancer. Eight of 111 patients (7.2%) experienced NDP-HSRs, six of which developed in the second NDP cycle. However, all patients with NDP-HSRs were treated with carboplatin (CBDCA) for more than three cycles. Grade 3 and 4 HSRs developed in 2 patients. NDP-HSRs were significantly associated with a history of CBDCA-HSRs (odds ratio 37.5, 95% confidence interval 5.38-262, p < 0.001) and with the interval between NDP administration and the previous platinum treatment (odds ratio 13.9, 95% confidence interval 1.23-158, p = 0.034). CONCLUSION The risk of NDP-HSRs increases in patients with a history of CBDCA-HSRs and in those administered NDP for more than 6 months after previous platinum treatment. Such individuals must be closely monitored if given NDP, even if they are expected to benefit from the treatment.
